Red Bird Ministries introduces Finding the Passion of Christ in Our Story, a 10-week grief support group centered on Scripture and the Passion of Jesus Christ. This one-of-a-kind program guides bereaved individuals and families on a journey with Christ through moments of desolation, helping participants find meaning, hope, and healing in their suffering.
Participants will reflect on how Christ’s Passion reveals His love for us and how it relates to each of our own stories of loss. Through prayer, discussion, and community, we walk together to find Christ in our sorrow and rediscover peace through His suffering and love.
